borhood comment for fully fifty years. They
consist of occasional tremulous movements, re-
sembling slight earthquake and affecting sew
eral acres of adjacent land. Many old settlers
can testify to this phenomenon. The present
owner of the farm states that to his certain
knowledge the hill has been 'fshEky" for over
ffty-seven years. He has experienced the SEN
sations and only about two months ago his
family felt a violent jar about o'clock in the
morning. Their dwelling is about three Gig hths
of a mile from the hill. 1t is also stated that
the magnetic needle shows unusual variations
in the vicinity of the hill. and that sudden ex-
plosions of electric light sometimes witnessed
there The locality is regard ed with sort of
awe by the people of the neigh borhood.
